A/N Sorry about the wait, but I hope it's worth it!
I'm going to try to upgrade every Friday.
I just want to say, thank you for believing in and sticking with this story. It means a lot!
Anyway ... ENJOY! :D
Everybody was ready but Rebekah. She was doing her make-up, not that she needed it. She'd been upstairs getting ready for two and a half hours, and the boys couldn't understand what was taking her so long, as they only took about 20 minutes to have a shower and get dressed. Must be a girl thing. They all thought while they waited.
Elijah was wearing a grey silk suit - like always - with his crisp white collars. Thankfully Kol and Klaus persuaded him to lose the tie as he refuses to change into something more club-like.
Stefan was in simple dark blue jeans with a plain grey t-shirt.
Kol was in black ripped skinny jeans - because he loves his legs - with a chain swinging low from one side of his belt to the other. And he was in a black t-shirt with three blood claw marks going across his chest. He looked a little like an emo, but looked hot - well from a girl's point of view.
Klaus was in black jeans that hung off his hips perfectly, and a plain white short-sleeved Henley that hugged him in all the right places. You could see his necklaces peeking out from his undone buttons.
They were all sitting in the living room with a glass of bourbon each and talking - well more like listening to Kol talk - while waiting for Rebekah.
"Well I'm going out now. So.. Have a nice time clubbing." Henrik told his brothers.
"Yeah, have a nice time with April." Kol called out cheekily. The boys chuckled at Kol teasing Henrik.
"Haha Kol, you really are a clown. Oh and don't forget to take protection out with you, you know, if you ever get the balls to actually speak to Bonnie." Henrik shouted back, before leaving the house, leaving Kol with his mouth agape, not quite believing his little brother just said that, and the rest of them in hysterics. Rebekah chose that moment to come down stairs.
"What's so funny?" She asked, confused as to why they were laughing so hard.
Stefan immediately stopped laughing as soon as he saw his fiancé. She looked undoubtedly sexy in her 3/4 sleeved plain black dress, topped with a thick red belt and red stiletto heels. Her eyes were smoky and her lips were nude. Rebekah smiled as his lust filled eyes scanned her body. Their bubble popped once they heard a voice reply to her now forgotten question.
"Kol just got put in his place by our younger brother." Klaus managed to get out still laughing. Rebekah started to chuckle seeing her brother's stunned expression. Before she could make a comment, Kol seemed to have snapped out of his shock but spoke in a daze-like voice.
"Let's go." He got up and walked out of the room and out the house. They all started laughing again by how fazed Kol was about Henrik's comment. Once they calmed themselves down, they made their way to Elijah's car where Kol was waiting.
The car ride was normal: Kol and Bekah were arguing over silly things while Elijah and Stefan were discussing an old book that they were both interested in. Klaus was just gazing out the window, thinking about what he was going to say to Caroline. He felt a sudden wave of nervousness wash through him. He has no idea how the situation will go. He is honestly hoping they get to talk, so he can finally tell her that he feels the same. Every time he tries to plan out how it will go and what he'll say, his mind goes blank. While Klaus was lost in his thoughts, he failed to notice that Kol and Bekah had stopped arguing and started speaking quietly.
Caroline was trying very hard not to panic. Ok, she was already panicking. She didn't know why she had even agreed to his. She keeps picturing Klaus laughing at her. Laughing at her stupidity. Laughing over the fact that she was in love with him and he didn't feel the same. Kol had demanded that she had to come out with them. He said that she was going to make Nik jealous. She didn't believe for a moment that it's going to work, but his voice was so determined that she eventually gave in, he then asked her to get there before him and to get her flirt on with someone.
Kol had also told her that Klaus had ended his relationship with Tatia not long after she had left. Caroline was filled with happiness once she heard, but then it was quickly replaced with confusion. Why would he dump her the day after introducing her to his family? He wouldn't have done it 'cause of me, right? Caroline cursed herself for thinking such things, and getting her hopes up. She also didn't want to get another headache.
For the past three days, she has done nothing but other-think things and giving herself headaches. She has had enough. Had enough of feeling embarrassed that she told her best friend she loved him while drunk, then forgetting about it. Feeling uncomfortable not knowing how he feels. And lonely. Lonely because she and Klaus have never spend more than 24 hours apart, and she misses him more than words could say.
So now here she is sitting in the back of a cab, on her way to a club she has never been before, - called 'The Originals' and meeting Bonnie and Elena by the entrance - to sort out this complication between her and Klaus. Caroline, Rebekah, Bonnie and Elena had a four-way phone call earlier, deciding what clothes to wear. Even though they don't know exactly what the other is wearing, they had agreed to all wear something black.
Caroline had decided to wear a one shoulder blood-red dress, that stopped just above her knees and hugged her curves perfectly. She added a black bow-like belt and black ankle boots. Her eyes were smoky and her lips were painted dark red.
The cab finally pulled up outside the club and she spotted Bonnie and Elena straight away. They looked absolutely stunning.
Bonnie's navy dress shown off her silky smooth - to die for - long legs perfectly. It stopped mid-thigh, and the chest and back areas was lace. She'd put on black stud leather boots with a matching jacket. Her eyes had navy eyeliner and eye shadow on, giving her a smoky look. Her cheeks were slightly pink and her lips were glossy.
Caroline's first thought was ... HOT
Elena had chosen a pink and black polka dot boob tube dress, which complimented her skin tone, black gloves and simple black heels. Her lips were pink, as were her cheeks and her eyes were sharpened by the thick line of eyeliner she'd put on.
They greeted each other with hugs and compliments. Both Bonnie and Elena were excited as the three of them haven't been out clubbing together for ages, so they wanted to enjoy the night in every single way.
"You can do this Care. Tonight is the night you get to find out if Klaus is your Romeo" Bonnie says with a wink, seeing the nerves in Caroline's eyes. She responded with a smile, appreciating her friends reassurance and for being here.
"Let's go in!" Elena exclaimed, wanting to go in already. Both girls giggled at her expression, then the three of them made their way inside.
Once they were at the bar with their drinks, Caroline got a text from Kol telling her that they're almost there.
"Ready to get your flirt on?" Elena teased, earning a glare from Caroline and a loud laugh from Bonnie. Both girls thought that Klaus and Caroline should just sit down and talk to one another, but they also knew what kind of friendship they have, so they could both understand their hesitation.
The first thing Klaus did when he entered the club, was look for Caroline. He had given himself a prep-talk before coming out the car. He's on a high, he's ready to tell her everything, tell her how she is the only one for him, and how he regrets not admitting it sooner. His high was gone as soon as he saw her. She had a flirtatious smile on her face while some boy, was leading her to the middle of the dance floor with lust filled eyes. Hurt, anger and jealousy flashed through him until it remained strongly between anger and jealousy. What the hell is this? He thought angrily. Knowing his anger would whirl out of control, he looked around to see where everyone else was. He saw Stefan and Rebekah laughing and dancing with each other, Elijah and Elena flirting, and Kol and Bonnie sitting awkwardly in a booth. So he headed over to the booth were his younger brother was sitting with his lady friend, hoping that the night will soon change.
Caroline had seen his expression when he saw her with someone else. She feels really guilty for it, but knows it has to be done, for her minds sake. All she wants is for Nik to come over and rip this man off of her. She feels uncomfortable, she doesn't want his hands on her. She wants his hands on her, in a way of friendship or love she doesn't care. Forty-five minutes. She thinks to herself. I'm not staying any longer than forty-five minutes.
"I'm going to go get another drink." Bonnie says, quickly leaving. Even though she has a big crush on Kol, whenever they're alone things just seem to get awkward, like they don't know what to say to one another. So as soon as Klaus came into the booth, she left it.
Kol signed. He always gets tongue-tied when he's around Bonnie, and he doesn't want to drink too much around her either, just in case she gets the wrong impression and if he does something stupid. So he decided to help his older brother out, knowing that's something he can do. "Where's Caroline?"
"Dancing with some bloke." He replied bitterly, taking a large gulp of bourbon from the bottle that was already on the table.
"And how do you feel about that?" He pushed.
Klaus slammed his fist on the table. "All I want to do, is get up, get Caroline out of here, so I can tell her that I love her. I also would very much so, like to kick the living day-lights out of that dirty little son of a bitch. I mean who does he think he is, touching my women. I wish I could go break his limbs, one by one." He growled.
Kol chuckled at his brothers possessiveness. "Why don't you go do that then." Klaus turned his head to look at his brother in confusion. "The first part you tit!" They both chuckled.
"It's not that easy Kol -"
"Yes it is!" Kol exclaimed, cutting off his brother. "You love her don't you? And she loves you too. You act like a couple, you love each other like a couple, so why not be a couple? It'll be mostly the same, just add some kisses, eye-sex, late night activities, and sweet nothings, maybe even a few more arguments but nothing will really change. It'll still be you and Caroline. Do you really want to watch other men, who aren't good enough for her, touch her? To kiss her? Be with her? No. Your face expression says it all Nik. Now get off your arse, go be a man and go get your girl before it's too late!" He finished with a proud smile on his face, as he has now given both Caroline and Nik some advise.
Klaus smiled, leaning in to give Kol a hug. It was moments like these that he really enjoyed. Having a brotherly conversation always did make him smile, he liked knowing that they'll always be there for each other, no matter what. "Why don't you go do the same with Bonnie. She likes you too you know. Take a chance, it could be worth it." He smirked. "Go get your girl, brother." Kol smiled back at his brother, happy that they're having a 'brother moment' as Rebekah likes to call them. They both got up, and headed in the directions of their girls.
Klaus got to Caroline just in time to see the bloke she was with about to kiss her. Not wanting to cause a scene, he quickly but gently grabbed Caroline by the arm, and pulled her away from the lad and out of the club. She was too confused about what was happening to say something.
Once they were finally outside, he let go of her and started pacing. Caroline was shocked. He had only been in the club for about half an hour, and he dragged her away. She was just hoping it was for the reason that she truly wanted. Just as she was about to say something, he spoke first.
"Caroline, I am in love with you." he proclaimed. Caroline just stared at him in shock, clearly not expecting it. "You have been there for me my whole life, and I really can't imagine it without you. You know me like no other, just like I do you. There isn't a single person on this earth I can really picture myself with, other than you, and I have wanted to say this for so very long love, but I never thought you could feel the same. Tatia and I where never serious. I was just trying to move on from you. It was stupid I know, because you are the only one for me, but because you know everything about me, it's hard to picture you loving all of it. So just know that I love you with all my heart, and if you still want me, although I don't deserve you, I'm yours." He breathed out, looking into her shocked eyes with his hopeful ones. "Please say something my love."
Just as Caroline was about to open her mouth to say something, a loud screech and a bright light, came from behind Klaus. Panicked as she saw it was a car, she hurriedly pushed Klaus out of the way.
All that was heard was a loud thud, and the sound of a car quickly driving away.
And the world went black for Caroline Forbes.
:O What happened? :O
